damage wrought by the flood in the
loss of public bridges throughout the

BEATEN UNMERCIFULLY.
Little Boy's Back Lacerated and Eye
Blackened With a Strap.
A case of unusual cruelty came
under the notice of. the law today.
A little colored boy between six and
seven, years old, named Sylvester
Morgan, was Deaten so Daaiy mai
lie now Buffers with a black eye, a
bruised knee and his back is lacerat
ed. A piece of harness with a buckle
on it was the instrument of torture,
says the little boy.
The little boy has been living at
various places since his mother for
sook him when he was only. an in
fant. For the past two months he
has resided at the home of one Mar
tha Couch, in Watson's field. She
has been switching him very ften,
but the climax came yesterday and
last night. The Couch woman and
her sister ate a whole watermelon
and would not give the boy a piece.
After they had finished their repast
they insisted that the boy should car
ry out the rhines. Because he re
fused she grabbed a piece of harness,
with a buckle on it, and used it with
the above bad effect. Not being sat
isfied with the afternoon's work, she
beat him aagln last night.
Such cases as this deserve the
worst punishment the law allows.
V Constable Byrum served the war
rant on the Couch woman and her
trial is now going on at H. H. Rob
art's office.
